You’ve probably seen these guys (and girls) online. They are sometimes assembled into small congregations and even find some success in the weirder parts of the USA (Los Angeles.) They are driven by the belief in both Christianity AND Extra-Terrestrials and have merged them into one fascinating new belief system; Jesus was an alien.

Given the pace of very shocking admissions by many of our highest-ranking government officials, it seems certain that something is clearly true about the oft-rumored presence of Non-Human Intelligence. (That is the term chosen by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in his groundbreaking amendment to the NDAA last year. His bill would force the government to form a presidential committee to find the best way for the government to come clean with her people about our “neighbors.” There have also been numerous congressional hearings as well as dozens of secret briefings to the Senate Intelligence Committee. Even current Secretary of State Marco Rubio is taking part in forcing the government to fill the rest of us in on this truth. Wild, right?

With the government admitting the existence of “others”, people now see alien handprints everywhere in key moments for humanity. Thanks to Erich Von Daniken and shows like Ancient Aliens, people have been presented with the hypothesis of alien involvement in all of the greatest moments in history. Every key time and place; the pyramids at Giza, Machu Pichu, the Great Flood of Noah and yes, the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth.

While Im not well versed in every aspect of this theory, I think I have a loose grip on the bones of it. Aliens wanted to guide humanity towards something deemed beneficial to them and chose a young man through whom they would accomplish this. Basically, whatever he says about his father, assume he is talking about aliens. He performed miracles by accessing abilities that we all have but have been forgotten and was eventually killed by Rome. The NHI (non-human intelligence) revived him and eventually he floated up into the waiting craft to be taken to wherever they go to await the hour when he needs to return.

That’s basically it. I am sure the various groups have a far more fleshed-out system than what I have listed here but you get the idea. The purpose for this post isn’t to talk about alien-Jesus but rather the fact that I believe they have accused the wrong person of being NHI.

Jesus never claimed any magical voyages or visions. He was mainly a healer with some witty parables to illustrate the value of morality in one’s life. There is a man however, who showed up out of nowhere espousing some wild visions and hidden knowledge that totally turned the Jesus movement on its head. It’s the exact same practitioner of Jewish Merkava / Hechelot mysticism who claimed to have journeyed to the third heaven to be shown Jesus in his true role; Paul of Tarsus.

Let’s take Paul’s account out of your faith and memories of Sunday School classes and take a look of what he is saying. First he meets a being in a flash of light which knocked him over. A voice then spoke to him. This follows many of the “abduction reports” of people being disabled by some manner of bright light with a voice communicating directly with the victim’s mind.

In second Corinthians, Paul tells the story of a being taking him on a voyage. He then goes on to describe a near-textbook Hekhelot / Merkava mystical session /journey but ended with a vision of Jesus seated on the throne rather than Enoch/Metatron.

In each of Paul’s mystical encounters. he is given knowledge not available to the average human. This power seemingly anoints him with the appropriate authority necessary and guides him in every step. He is filled with power and the drive to venture forth even into great danger. Yes, the orthodoxy attributes this to Jesus, The Holy Spirit or a combination of the two but if one is looking for alien involvement, Paul is the only viable choice.

Just to be clear, I personally do not believe that the formation of the Christian religion had any contributions from “space-brothers” or any other Star-Trekkian species. In fact, it is a tumultuous and bloody story; qualities which are uniquely human. Part of why I study the Jesus of history is his humanity. He was human. Paul on the other hand……..
